Scottish clans and tartans is a popular topic with both Scottish natives and with the millions of people across the world who have ancestral connections with Scotland. The clan system is a unique part of Scotland s heritage of which many descendants are very proud. One of the best selling books on the subject, this title by Ian Grimble is widely regarded as being the authority on Scottish clans and tartans. This is a comprehensive guide to this ever-popular aspect of Scottish culture, featuring 150 tartans in full colour. Alongside the tartans are histories of the origins of each clan and their tartan plaids.

Thomas Cochrane's life has inspired naval authors from Frederick Marryat to Patrick O'Brien, but the Scottish admiral's life contained more adventures than any novelist could have created. Cochrane was a successful commander during the Napoleonic Wars, but his unorthodox tactics and views made him no friends at the Admiralty.After being jailed on dubious corruption charges he spent most of the rest of his life commanding foreign navies, such as those of Chile, Peru, Brazil and Greece. Inheriting the title Earl of Dundonald restored his respectability in Britain and he spent his remaining years in England as an inventor, being buried in Westminster Abbey upon his death in 1860 at age 85.
